Imagine the warm, comforting aroma of Sweet Potato Muffins with Chocolate Chips filling your kitchen, promising a cozy treat perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a midday snack. These are tender, light and just sweet enough. A touch of cinnamon is all they really need, but a handful of your favorite nuts wouldn’t hurt.
This recipe is simple to follow, and here are some useful tips I learned while testing it. To make sweet potato purée, roast, steam, or boil one sweet potato until very soft, then peel it and blend until smooth. Use room-temperature eggs in your batter for better mixing and even baking. Let melted butter cool before adding it to prevent cooking the eggs. Try to avoid overmixing the wet and dry ingredients to keep the texture light. Fill muffin liners about ¾ full to allow for rising without spilling. After baking, cool the muffins on a wire rack to help them hold their shape. These quick and easy muffins are ready in 25 minutes, so this recipe can be a weeknight cook’s savior. Enjoy!
To make these Sweet Potato Muffins with Chocolate Chips, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F / 200 °C and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Set aside.
In a measuring jug or bowl, whisk together 1 cup sweet potato purée and 2 eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and add in ½ cup melted and cooled butter. Whisk together for a minute or so to combine.
Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup only ¾ full.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and risen and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and cool the muffins on a wire cooling rack.
Serve and enjoy! These sweet potato chocolate chip muffins will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.
